I've successfully shot over and beat with border collies and a GSD. I herded sheep with a spaniel and cattle with the GSD. To some extent you can do anything with the right dog, but a good pedigree or blood line line will always stack the odds in your favour. Nothing guaranteed, nothing is in nature, but the genetic traits will swing the odds.

Civil unrest, We could learn a lesson from France.

Any admittance can be temporary. Evidence needs to be permanent. -
I'm not the one offering sanctuary for us poor Brits.

You just don't understand the bigger picture. The problems in the UK can be summarised into too many immigrants, a policy of making people belive that inter racial breeding is the norm, along with same sex couples,etc., higher levels of violent crime, privatising health care and eradicating trade unions. That is the way the UK is going. You got there decades ago.

There is an American women now living in Leeds who posts on fb. She couldn't believe that she could have a baby in hospital free of charge. Last week she posted the bill for some relative who'd had a heart attack. Over sixty grand and every canular used and bed pan emptied was listed. The insurance premiums must be immense. Then there is the murder rate 4 times per head of polulation. And the place is full of Americans! I think the States would be one of the last places I would choose to live.

You don't see the bigger picture. Health care, education, social care, all free. Sure you might have to wait four hours to get seen in A&E but you won't walk out with a ten grand bill.

The UK would have to be 100 times worse than it is now before anyone would seriously consider moving to Trumpton.

I've worked with and known a lot of ex servicemen from the three services and the ex-RAF ones were all faulty. One of them claimed to have been a fighter pilot when he worked for Notts. Then after he transferred to our lot he re-invented himself as an ex dog handler. The truth was that he was a steward on those flights that ferry servicemen to Cyprus. A feckin trolley dolly. Going back to Charts' post; the head of RAF personnel who resigned rather than demand that her staff act illegally will be due to compensation for constructive dismissal. She will no doubt get a healthy out of court p

Positive descrimination has become the norm in all government departments: health, education, armed forces, police, etc. Even the tv companies are at it. They keep on mentioning quotas, but nobody says what these quotas are and where they came from. Who decides these quotas and how, and why are they more important than getting the right person for the job based on ability? We are not just talking race or gender either. It seems that we now have to have quotas for gays, disabled and other 'minorities'. The word 'minorities' is quite interesting because if you looked at the UK census or

They can't legally do it. That would breach the Human Rights Act: Article 14 Prohibition of discrimination The enjoyment of the rights and freedoms set forth in this Convention shall be secured without discrimination on any ground such as sex, race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, property, birth or other status.

The government pretending that they didn't know anything about it. For at least 20 years every government department has been actjng illegally. And they say they didn't know.

Even the rivers are not safe now ?

Just to put it in context: the biggest wels catfish in European rivers are approaching 3 metres long. A 6 foot shark is a tiddler by comparison. -
There were camps in France too. We visited on in Gurs where they detaineď Jews, gypsies and other 'undesirables' before sending them by rail to the death camps. It started out housing Spaniards fleeing Franco on the basis that if they weren't fascists they must be communists. Then they detained all the Germans after Germany invaded France and latterly became a Nazi concentration camp under the Vichy government. The hut where 60 prisoners would have been housed was barely bigger than our motorhome.

Or some scally has nicked his laptop and was checking his browsing hjstory.

That is the dilemma for shops and fuel stations. Their staff are always being called to court then sent home when the plea is changed on the day. Makes a mockery of staff rostas and holiday planning.

Feckin' amateur. You could have axed his head off or used the cutters. Why release a rat? ?

It is a strange system. On one hand you have got defendants who, despite swearing an oath to tell the truth, are expected to lie. And if they are caught out lying there is no additional punishment. Witnesses however can and have been jailed for lying. Magistrates have no legal knowledge or training and are recruited from groups of people who know little about how the people they preside over live. Judges are even further removed from the reality of life. A lot of the barristers I've come across were clowns and I met quite a few solicitors who were more bent than their clients. But w

Its like when we used to catch the coal thieves from Grimethorpe Colliery (the one the film Brassed Off was featured) it was all play acting. Like a soap opera. We'd go through the motions then drop them off at home, tip the stolen coal into some random old folk's coal bunker and then if they went not out in court we'd have to recover the evidence. One sack of coal looked pretty much like another. They'd order a suit from the wife's catalogue for the court appearance then send it back the next day. After the court case we'd tip another couple of sacks of coal into a random old folk's coal bun

You're not telling me that two missed fish even nearly made up for the loss of your car, contents and the resultant fine. Let alone your tarnished reputation. ?

I came across a few OAP shoplifters. There was no doubt as to the intent when cctv was examined. One had been suspected for weeks so they filmed him every time he came in to the shop. Then when the store detective caught him he played the confused geriatric card. So the store manager played the 8 previous visits recorded on cctv card. And just to top it off he'd got a gross indecency offence that he hadn't declared to his wife of forty years. Whooops!

A Judge is only interested in the pure interpretation of law. Personalities and what is right and wrong don't come into it. That is what the Jury is there for.

Low-value shoplifting remains an offence which is triable either-way in the following circumstances: an adult defendant must be given the opportunity to elect Crown Court trial, including where the aggregate value of the offence(s) is below £200. If the defendant so elects, the case will be ‘sent’ to the Crown Court for trial (section 22A(2) MCA 1980); an adult defendant is charged with one or more shoplifting offences where the aggregate value of goods stolen exceeds £200 – see Candlish v DPP [2022] EWHC 842 (Admin) and R v Harvey [2020] EWCA Crim 354. In that event, the Court w

In real life you can. Depends on whether there are previous convictions, i.e. professional thief, number of other offences taken into account, triviality of demanding a Crown hearing, etc.....

I found Magistrates to be either utterly naive or rabid Nazis. ? If you appeal a guilty verdict in the Magistrate's it goes up to Crown Court.
-
It is every defendant's right to be tried by jury. Shoplifting usually gets heard at Magistrates, but can be referred to the Top Shop. The chances of being found not guilty by jury in some cases is lower than the Magistrate's (if you ever meet a Magistrate you will see why). But the penalties dished out by Judges will be much more severe if found guilty.
